Quick Spanish Rice
Now on to Part 2 of the rice and beans combo. This Spanish Rice Recipe is my first attempt at making a healthier version of Spanish Rice without a “flavor” packet. I figured it had to be relatively easy to do considering that Uncle Ben makes quick cooking brown rice. This took just about the same amount of time as those boxed “flavored” rices but is much tastier and far better for you and your kiddos.
Prep Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 10 to 15 mins
Ingredients:
2 carrots (peeled and diced)
1 shallot (peeled and diced small)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup instant brown rice
1 3/4 cup vegetable broth
1 cup good salsa
salt and pepper to taste
Saute shallots in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Pour in rice and stir to combine. Let cook for 2 minutes then add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and add carrots. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 10 mins. Add salsa and stir to combine. Recover and cook for a few more minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 4 servings.
